An infusion apparatus for infusing liquid into a patient having a housing, a pump disposed in the housing and adapted to pump liquid through a conduit, a visual display for generating messages to the user of the infusion apparatus, a backlight associated with the visual display, and a light sensor that generates a signal indicative of the ambient light level where the infusion apparatus is being used. The infusion apparatus includes control means coupled to the light sensor and the backlight for causing the backlight to be selectively activated based on the signal generated by the light sensor. The selective illumination of the backlight saves power and is particularly advantageous when used in connection with ambulatory, battery-powered infusion pumps. The control means may cause the backlight to be activated when the ambient light level does not exceed a threshold value, and may cause the backlight to be automatically deactivated after a predetermined period of time. The control means may check the light sensor, and turn the backlight on if the sensed light level does not exceed the threshold, upon a key of a keypad coupled to the infusion apparatus being pressed or the generation of an alarm.

A medical treatment apparatus is provided with a programmable medical device disposed at a first room location and a remote monitor and/or controller disposed at a second room location. The programmable medical device is used to administer a medical treatment to a patient, and the remote monitor/controller maybe used to monitor the operation of the medical device, control the operation of the medical device, and/or to transfer data from the medical device to the remote monitor/controller. The apparatus may allow voice communication between the remote monitor/controller and the patient who is receiving treatment via the medical device while the medical device is being monitored and/or controlled from the remote location. The remote monitor/controller may also include means for determining the type of medical device to which it is connected. The programmable medical device includes various types of sensors for generating patient medical condition data which is transmitted to the remote monitor/controller.
